- Technical measures → Digital rights management (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
While technological protection measures unambiguously refers to DRM, the same cannot be said of technological measures or technical measures. Given the broadness of the terms, I would lean toward deletion at this time. signed, Rosguill talk 23:46, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
- Delete as ambiguous. (i) "Circumvention of technological measures (1)This section applies where— (a) effective technological measures have been applied to a copyright work other than a computer program" and so on - Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988. (ii) "Technical measures are a broad set of rules which govern how, where and when fishermen may fish" - European Commission. Narky Blert (talk) 09:39, 4 March 2020 (UTC)
- Comment - The first redirect appears as if it maybe should go to either 'history of technology' or 'technology and society' (or, less likely, 'outline of technology'), but I'm not too sure. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 22:32, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

- Sacha Killeya-Jones → NC State Wolfpack men's basketball (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
No mention in the target article, has changed teams. Pelmeen10 (talk) 21:17, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
- Delete - he really isn’t a significant figure for either Kentucky or NC State. He has a chance to someday meet WP:NBASKETBALL or WP:GNG so in my opinion just delete the redirect unless and until that happens. Rikster2 (talk) 00:14, 6 March 2020 (UTC)
- Comment. It looks like this redirect was created at the same time as a few others by Babymissfortune. They suffer from similar problems so I have nominated them: Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2020 March 11#Jonny David. -- Tavix (talk) 21:30, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

William XI of Auvergne
edit
- The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
- The result of the discussion was retarget to List of rulers of Auvergne. (non-admin closure) feminist (talk) 05:48, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
- William XI of Auvergne → William of Auvergne (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
William XI of Auvergne is not the same person as "William of Auvergne, bishop of Paris". Therefore, he should not be redirected to that page. Prosequor (talk) 20:48, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
- Delete I'm not a subject-matter expert, but the article it redirects to makes no mention of him being the eleventh of anything. At best, this seems unnecessary; if there was an actual William Xi of Auvergne, who was a different person, then this is misleading. GirthSummit (blether) 22:27, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
- Speedy retarget to List of rulers of Auvergne as {{R with possibilities}}. He's mentioned there, and I've added a link to fr:Guillaume XI d'Auvergne. Narky Blert (talk) 09:56, 4 March 2020 (UTC)
- Retarget per Narky, he is mentioned at the list of rulers of Auvergne page. Hog Farm (talk) 03:04, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

edit
- The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
- The result of the discussion was retarget to Portal:Current events/2006 June 6. (non-admin closure) feminist (talk) 05:49, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
Users searching for this sequence are more likely to be looking for the date June 6, 2006 than the Mark of the Beast. June 6 and 2006 are possible retargeting points, although it could be just deleted. Hog Farm (talk) 19:13, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
- Retarget to Portal:Current events/2006 June 6, which gives events for the day in question. -- Tavix (talk) 19:17, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
- I realized this date is technically ambiguous. However, it doesn't look like we'll get to Portal:Current events/1906 June 6 anytime soon and I'm fine with kicking the can down the road to whenever Portal:Current events/2106 June 6 gets created (I'll probably be retired by then). -- Tavix (talk) 22:02, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
- Retarget per Tavix. 06/06/06 has no connection with any meaning of 666. Narky Blert (talk) 21:05, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
- Retarget as per Tavix. Quite a nice ATD. J947 (c), at 21:51, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
- Retarget - I'm in complete agreement. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 22:36, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was delete. -- Tavix (talk) 15:39, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
This acronym is not exclusive to the target topic. Delete or retarget to a dab page. Hog Farm (talk) 19:10, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
- Delete. I can think of no suitable target. A searchbox search for "tnotb" turned up this redirect, and that was all. A Google search turned up a couple of hopelessly non-WP:RS entries in online dictionaries, but no evidence of actual usage except in a couple of social media references to "The Number of the Beast" (song). It can be assumed that anyone referring to the song in that way knows the title and is using shorthand (just as when I on some sites refer to HMHB or NB10; this is pure fanstuff). Narky Blert (talk) 21:15, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
- Delete - As stated above, this appears to be almost always used in reference to the heavy metal song. However, it's still rather an obscure fan thing. I agree. Deletion is the right call. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 22:38, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

Apparently an accidental creation with an unneded parenthesis. 1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 17:28, 3 March 2020 (UTC)

- Triple-glazing → Insulated glazing (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Wrong hyphenation, Neelix. 1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 15:08, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
- Keep per WP:RCHEAP. We have double-glazing (which is also in Wiktionary) so it's difficult to argue that this is definitely wrong. 94.21.238.148 (talk) 16:03, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
- Keep per WP:RCHEAP. A hyphen would be plausible here, redirects are sometimes made to capture plausible errors. Hog Farm (talk) 18:57, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
- Keep per keepers. That's a search term I can see myself using (I'm not well-versed in hyphen fu). GirthSummit (blether) 19:59, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
- Keep. If you've ever worked in a factory in Ontario in winter, you'll appreciate its value. Narky Blert (talk) 21:21, 3 March 2020 (UTC)

“insulated ice”? Wrong redirect by Neelix. 1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 15:03, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
- Keep Seems a reasonable search term/blue link for someone looking for the other article. --Jayron32 17:01, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
- @Jayron32: “glazes” has nothing to do with glass. 1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 17:31, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
- I don't believe I ever said that it did. --Jayron32 17:34, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
- @Jayron32: “glazes” has nothing to do with glass. 1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 17:31, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
- Delete nonsense (although "glazes" is what a "glazier" does—i.e. to do with glass—but as a verb not modified by "insulated"). Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 23:25, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
- Delete. Glaze (as a noun) is not the same as glazing. It often means a coating, including inter alia sugar coatings on doughnuts. Narky Blert (talk) 12:27, 4 March 2020 (UTC)
- Delete Glazes, glazed items, and the process of glazing are different subjects. Hog Farm (talk) 14:31, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

Glazed glass? 1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 14:55, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
- Keep seems a reasonable search term/blue link creation. --Jayron32 17:02, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
- Delete nonsense. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 23:26, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
- Weak keep. This is something of a pleonasm, but Google gives me a few search results from glaziers, particularly when "glass" is used to mean the complete fitting (e.g. "double glazed glass partition"). One could argue that double glazed window was redundant for the same reason. 85.238.91.68 (talk) 13:23, 4 March 2020 (UTC)
- Keep Despite being logically defective, the term is commonly used and has a reasonable chance to be searched for.North8000 (talk) 14:30, 5 March 2020 (UTC)
- Keep Though "double glazed window" is more commonly used, but glass is available in the market standalone. Crashed greek (talk) 03:46, 6 March 2020 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was disambiguate. signed, Rosguill talk 18:25, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
Delete per WP:RFOREIGN. Parks are not particularly Spanish or Portuguese, and the word is not used at the target. Created on 17 February this year, but not novel, obscure, a misnomer or typo, so I am not sure CSD is apt. 94.21.238.148 (talk) 13:28, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
Keep – plausible and harmless redirect.--Soumyabrata (talk • subpages) 17:41, 3 March 2020 (UTC)- Delete per Wikipedia:Redirects in languages other than English. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 23:26, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
- Disambiguate: wikt:parque, Jim Parque, Parque (TransMilenio), Parque (Lisbon Metro), Parque (Santurce). -- Tavix (talk) 23:30, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
- Yes, that's better. Disambiguate per Tavix (scrubbed delete !vote as nom, IP has changed). I've drafted a DAB below the RfD notice. 85.238.91.68 (talk) 06:20, 4 March 2020 (UTC)
- Disambiguate per Tavix. The draft seems better than the redirect. --Soumyabrata (talk • subpages) 12:14, 4 March 2020 (UTC)
- Disambiguate as above, the draft looks like a needed page. Narky Blert (talk) 12:30, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

- Bertie Scott → Monstercat (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Not mentioned at the target; recently removed as a primary sourced single appearance on the label. Previously redirected to Bert Scott, but there's no mention there either and no source referring to the footballer under the nickname. Jalen Folf (talk) 17:33, 15 February 2020 (UTC)
- Retarget to the DAB page Bert Scott as WP:CHEAP, and tag as {{R from ambiguous term}}. None of the people in the see-also on that DAB page seems to have been known as Bertie; but it's a very possible nickname for anyone christened Albert, Bert, Bertram, Herbert, or the like; for example, King George VI. Narky Blert (talk) 17:52, 15 February 2020 (UTC)
- Retarget per bove. This was created as a redirect to Bert Scott. Boleyn (talk) 18:56, 15 February 2020 (UTC)
- Conditional delete unless Narky Blert, Boleyn, or someone provides evidence that the footballer or anyone else notable has been called "Bertie Scott". My research showed overwhelming support for the musician as the primary topic for "Bertie Scott", but we no longer have anywhere to redirect this to. -- Tavix (talk) 23:28, 15 February 2020 (UTC)
- Delete this refers mainly to the Monstercat musician, and is not an assumed nickname for the other Bert Scotts. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 15:58, 20 February 2020 (UTC)

Discount Beverage Outlet
edit
- The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
- The result of the discussion was no consensus. Given that the keep votes were phrased as "weak", I think that there's simply no consensus here, although the outcome is thus the same as if it had been kept. signed, Rosguill talk 18:22, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
- Discount Beverage Outlet → Circle K (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
This name is not mentioned in the target article, and is not exclusive to Circle K. Delete as ambiguous. Hog Farm (talk) 05:16, 25 February 2020 (UTC)
- Comment to Hoggie: We can keep redirects as {{R to article without mention}} when not mentioned in the target article. According to this webcast from the Town of Queen Creek in Arizona, Discount Beverage Outlet appears to be the trade name, or possibly former trade name, of the Circle K Stores, Inc., used only in the state of Arizona. It's not ambiguous because of the capitalization (i.e., Discount beverage outlet would be ambiguous) and because we don't have any other mentions on English Wikipedia. So, there would be a clear primary topic here. The question becomes, then, to me anyway, one of utility/usefulness per WP:R#D8. Doug Mehus T·C 12:42, 25 February 2020 (UTC)
- Weak keep per WP:R#K5 as it only had 7 pageviews for the preceding twelve months to February 23, 2020, two days before its nomination. However, it's harmless, and, potentially, useful. Doug Mehus T·C 12:45, 25 February 2020 (UTC)
- Weak keep - based on Doug Mehus' excellent research, this is a valid title and points unambiguously to the topic the reader is likely searching for, say if they encountered the name in a dead-tree publication old enough to use the former brand name. If good sources are available we could add it to the target article. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 17:23, 27 February 2020 (UTC)
